Aperfect1y dreadful story has come to,

that some other things than skinned

An elderly lady Of the old school, who

lately detained In town during one Of her
shopping tours, and decided to make q
day OF 1t.

In sweeping room q few simple rules
are all that are needed.
Let all ornaments, small toilet arti-
cles, and the like be placed on the bed,
and that entirely covered with sheet.
1t is we'll to have sweeping covers of un.
bleached cotton sheeting, large enough
to drape each piece Of furniture as can
not conveniently be removed from the
room.
All chairs, ottomans, light tables, etc.,
should be busted and set In the hall or
an adjoining room. Loop up curtains
and draperies so that they will clear the
floor. Have rugs or mats removed first,
and shaken In the open air
Shut the doors and raise the windows,
unless the weather should be exception
ally cold. In that case the air ng may
be deferred Until thesweeping Is finished.
Sweep from one side OF the room. Ieav-
ing space into which to push the ftarnl-
ture. as that opposes the progress Of the
broom. Leave nothing unfnoved that
can be moved, and see that no corner Is
allowed to harbor dust or fiuff.
Drive the dust into the middle Of the
dustpan, and bestow
at once into the Ere Let the dust settle
thoroughly before "setting to rIghts Is
begun.
Wipe off door panels and other wood
work first. A square yard OF cheese
cloth neatly hemmed makes the best
duster. It Is soft and easily washed,
and has the added merit OF cheapness.
Rub windows and mirrors, brush of
picture frames, and wash marble mantels
or slabs.
Replace the rugs, uncover the furni-
ture. dust It carefully. and restore the
ornaments TO their places, FIRST observing
whether they are clean, Last, bring IN
the furniture from outside.
In rooms which are matted instead OF
carpeted. 1t Is well after sweeping to go
over the floor with o cloth molstencd In

escaped the broom, and gives gloss and

an advance In the knowledge OF particn-
lar diseases, but also SO great q revolu-

and tracing the ethIology OF disease"
Richard Bright was the son Of q
Bristol banker, and was born In 1888.
Like Addison, he studied at Edinburgh,
and subsequently accompanied Sir
Sir Henry Holland In Journey to Ice
land. He contributed the /" Notes on
Botany and Zoology" to Mackenze's
work.
Returning from Iceland, Bright began
hospital work OF Guys Hospital In
London. Snd attended Sir Ashley Coop
er's lectures. These attracted him to
pathology and post-mortem observa-
lions, and these again led him to that
consideration OF one OF the morbid con-
ditions OF the kidneys which he did so
much to elucidate.
But prior to this discovery he returned
TO Edinburgh and completed his studies
under the famous Gregory. Then he
passed two terms at Cambridge. travelled
on the continent, attended medical lee
lures at Berlin and Vienna. and pub
lished q book Of "Trayels in Hun
gary"
All this implies that he was we'll sup
piled with mon ey, which was In fact the
case. But the absence OF pecunIary Inn
petus did not dull his professlo nal ardor.
and when he returned to London he
resumed his work with industry.
In 1920 he began practice and rapidly
took high position. but for six hours
